Singer Han Hae shared a painful memory regarding her cafe venture.
On the episode of JTBC's variety show 'Love War' broadcast on the 5th, singer Han Hae appeared as a guest, and the story of a couple who are currently taking a break after quitting their jobs was revealed.
That day, while on a date at a cafe with his girlfriend, the man suggested creating a mind map related to careers. However, despite various job suggestions, the woman shook her head, saying "It's hard to work," and stated, "Since you like coffee, I think opening a cafe might be a good idea."
Watching from the studio, Han Hae said, "I once failed at running a cafe. It doesn't feel like someone else's story," offering sincere advice.

Han Hae recalled, "About 3 to 4 years ago, I opened a cafe in Sangam-dong. It was a place that sold both yogurt and coffee. What is 2,000 won? The place next door sells coffee for 900 won. You really can't compete with that."
She continued, "Actually, isn't a cafe romantic? The smell is nice, and you can work on self-improvement in between tasks. But when it becomes your own business, rent goes out. It's truly hell."
She also added, "I ran the cafe for over a year, about two years. I barely held on. For six months, I thought I was doing business. The rest of the time, I was just enduring it," and warned, "I lost between 150 million and 200 million won. Don't do it carelessly. You might not know anything else, but absolutely never open a cafe."
Lee Hyori also empathized, saying, "My husband (Lee Sang-soon) didn't run a cafe too? People lined up in long queues. But even so, we couldn't earn much."
